Artist Bio
Nikki Fragala Barnes (Miami, 1976) is an experimental visual poet and participatory installation artist. Barnes, also an independent editor and curator, has read and installed/exhibited works at the Atlantic Center for the Arts (New Smyrna Beach, FL), the Orlando Museum of Art (Orlando, FL), and the Liminal (Valencia, Spain), among other museums/galleries and public spaces. Her work is often collaborative, community-based and site-sensitive.
An arts activist, Barnes centers material works on accessibility, public histories, and the poetics of place. Barnes is also a professor of writing at Valencia College and a teaching artist at CityArts. She will be presenting new works in March at the 2nd Valencia College Spring Arts Week and in April during the inaugural Poetry Pops in the Garden at Audubon Park.
